Not Yet Uhuru: Citizen writes to IBIKUNLE AMOSUN

The government of Ogun State recently celebrated 40th Anniversary of the state with 40 laudable project but a Citizen has written to Amosun that it is not yet Uhuru.

Below is the letter and images of roads needing the government attention. He feels Amosun can still do better.

Dear Sir,
Greetings from a concerned constructive indigene of Ogun state.

It is imperative I write on behalf of the residents of the Ilogbo community in Ado-Odo Otta Local Government Area of the state as to draw your attention to the cry of residents of this community on the issue of the dilapidated state of a major road across this locality. The road that leads from Iyana ilogbo to Iju and also connects to Oju Ore axis which is the major route of lots of motorists, motor cyclists (okada riders) and passers-by across the state.

This community which is an example of other communities in the state that under goes urban-rural migration of citizens of Ogun state, Lagos state and Nigeria at large, experiences development at a slower rate basically because of the derelict state of this road. I must say Sir, that this road accommodates daily hundreds of motorists, motorcycles and passers-by because, apart from the residents of this community, we have business men and women that runs their daily business activities in the environs of this locality. It is also a pity that most of the immigrants from Lagos state who plans to settle in this environment fails to complete their building project or finally move in just as a result of the pain they encounter while taking these routes to their various sites and these keeps the socio-economic development expected in this community not realizable. It was also gathered, that the situation worsen during the raining season as motor cyclists and motorists encounters more difficulty in transporting down passengers to their various destinations as they get stuck in the pot holes due to the swampy state in the season and this often leads to accidents of sort.

Sir, it is also on record that sometime last year during your campaign movement for continuation in office for second term, your convoy also got stuck in one of the pot holes which made you promise the residents of this community to look into this issue if re-elected into office and this you’ve failed to fulfil since your attainment of second tenure in office.
Inasmuch as we salute and appreciate your progressive moves in fulfilling the mission to rebuild Ogun state, we must say that the mission would not be complete if you centralize your good works to some parts of the state as residents of the Ado-Odo Otta Local Government Area are also indigenes and good people of the state, this they’ve shown by re-electing you into office as their votes also counts.

I humbly plead you recognize our plight Sir as I’m also a resident of this community.

God bless the good people of Ado-Odo Otta LGA!
God bless the good people of Ogun state!!
God bless the good people of Nigeria!!!

Yours in good governance,
Oyedele J. Babatunde
